quotient is 5 4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

I just took that test from school

Answer 2

Answer:

Ok, i guess that here we want to learn how to round.

First, a kinda general way.

if we have combined numbers

A and B.

Such that A is a whole number, and B is a fraction, we have that:

If B < 0.5, we round down, and our number is only A.

if B ≥ 0.5, we round up, and our number is A + 1.

We here have:

(29 and 1/5) divided by (4 and 6/7)

So for the numerator, we have:

B = 1/5 = 0.20. this is smaller than 0.5, so here we round down, and the numerator will be:

29.

For the denominator we have "4 and 6/7"

So here B = 6/7,

we know that 1/2 = 2/4 = 4/8 = 0.5

and 6/7 > 4/8 = 0.5

6/7 > 0.5

So here we round up, and the denominator will be:

4 + 1 = 5.

So our estimated quotient will be:

29/5 = 25/5 + 4/5 = 5 + 4/5
